Handling Toner
• Work carefully when removing paper jams or replacing toner bottles or cartridges to avoid spilling
toner on clothing or the hands.
• If toner is inhaled, immediately gargle with large amounts of cold water and move to a well ventilated
location. If there are signs of irritation or other problems, seek medical attention.
• If toner gets on the skin, wash immediately with soap and cold running water.
• If toner gets into the eyes, flush the eyes with cold running water or eye wash. If there are signs of
irritation or other problems, seek medical attention.
• If toner is swallowed, drink a large amount of cold water to dilute the ingested toner. If there are signs
of any problem, seek medical attention.
• If toner spills on clothing, wash the affected area immediately with soap and cold water. Never use
hot water! Hot water can cause toner to set and permanently stain fabric.
• Always store toner and developer supplies such as toner and developer packages, cartridges, and
bottles (including used toner and empty bottles and cartridges) out of the reach of children.
• Always store fresh toner supplies or empty bottles or cartridges in a cool, dry location that is not
exposed to direct sunlight.
Laser Safety
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical units
in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite
equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser
chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and
laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.
• Use of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WARNING: Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the procedures in the Laser Unit section.
Laser beams can seriously damage your eyes.

General Cautions
Do not turn off the main switch while any of the electrical components are active. Doing so may result in
damage to units (such as the PCU) as they are pulled out or replaced.
The PCU consists of the OPC drum, charge roller, development unit, and cleaning components. Observe
the following precautions when handling the PCU. 4
1. Never touch the drum surface with bare hands. If the drum surface is dirty or if you have accidentally
touched it, wipe it with a dry cloth, or clean it with wet cotton and then wipe it dry with a cloth.
2. Never use alcohol to clean the drum. Alcohol will dissolve the drum surface.
3. Store the PCU in a cool dry place.
4. Do not expose the drum to corrosive gases (ammonia, etc.).
5. Do not shake a used PCU, as this may cause toner and developer to spill out.
6. Dispose of used PCU components in accordance with local regulations.
Transfer Roller
1. Never touch the surface of the transfer roller with bare hands.
2. Be careful not to scratch the transfer roller, as the surface is easily damaged.
Scanner Unit
1. Use alcohol or glass cleaner to clean the exposure and scanning glass. This will reduce the static
charge on the glass.
2. Use a blower brush or a water-moistened cotton pad to clean the mirrors and lenses.
3. Make sure to not bend or crease the exposure lamp’s ribbon cable.
4. Do not disassemble the lens unit. This will cause the lens and copy image to get out of focus.
5. Do not turn any of the CCD positioning screws. This will put the CCD out of position.
39
Laser Unit
1. Do not loosen or adjust the screws securing the LD drive board on the LD unit. This will put the LD unit
out of adjustment.
2. Do not adjust the variable resistors on the LD unit. These are adjusted at the factory.
3. The polygonal mirror and F-theta lens are very sensitive to dust.
4. Do not touch the toner shield glass or the surface of the polygonal mirror with bare hands.
Fusing Unit
4 1. After installing the fusing thermistor, make sure that it is in contact with the hot roller and that the roller
can rotate freely.
2. Be careful to avoid damage to the hot roller stripper pawls and their tension springs.
3. Do not touch the fusing lamp and rollers with bare hands.
4. Make sure that the fusing lamp is positioned correctly and that it does not touch the inner surface of
the hot roller.
Paper Feed
• You must run SP 2214 to initialize the TD sensor after you install a new PCU. After starting initialization,
be sure to wait for it to reach completion (wait for the motor to stop) before you re-open the front
cover or turn off the main switch.
• If the optional tray heater or optics anti-condensation heater is installed, keep the machine's power
cord plugged in even while the main switch is off, to keep the heater(s) energized.

7. Energy Saving
Energy Save
Energy Saver Modes
Customers should use energy saver modes properly, to save energy and protect the environment.
The area shaded in this diagram represents the amount of energy that is saved when the timers are at the
default settings. If the timers are changed, then the energy saved will be different. For example, if the timers
are all set to 240 min., the grey area will disappear, and no energy is saved before 240 min. expires.
Timer Settings
The user can set these timers with User Tools (System settings > Timer setting)
• Energy saver timer (1– 240 min): Energy Saver Mode. Default setting: 1minute
• Auto off timer (1 – 240 min): Off Mode. Default settings: 1 minute
127
7. Energy Saving
Normally, Energy Saver timer < Auto Off timer. But, for example, if Auto Off timer < or = Energy Saver
timer, the machine goes immediately to Off mode when the Auto Off timer expires. It skips the Energy Saver
Mode.
Example
• Energy saver timer: 1 min.
• Auto Off: 1 min.
• The machine goes to Off mode after 1 minute. Energy Saver Mode is not used.
Recommendation
We recommend that the default settings should be kept.
• If the customer requests that these settings should be changed, please explain that their energy costs
7 could increase, and that they should consider the effects on the environment of extra energy use.
• If it is necessary to change the settings, please try to make sure that the Auto Off timer is not too long.
Try with a shorter setting first, such as 30 min., then go to a longer one (such as 60 min.) if the customer
is not satisfied.
• If the timers are all set to the maximum value, the machine will not begin saving energy until 240
minutes has expired after the last job. This means that after the customer has finished using the machine
for the day, energy will be consumed that could otherwise be saved.
• If you change the settings, the energy consumed can be measured using SP8941, as explained below.
SP 8941 (Machine Status) keeps a record of the amount of time that the machine spends in each mode.
• 8941-001: Operating mode
• 8941-002: Standby mode
• 8941-003: Panel off mode (not used in this machine)
• 8941-004: Low power mode (Energy saver mode)
• 8941-005: Off/sleep mode
With this data, and the power consumption values from the specifications, we can estimate the amount of
energy that is used by the machine.
128
Energy Save
This should only be used as a reference value, because the power consumption specifications are measured
in a controlled environment with a constant power supply.
To get an exact measurement at the customers site, a watt meter must be used to measure the actual energy
consumed.
To use SP8941 to calculate the energy consumed:
• At the start of the measurement period, read the values of SP8941 001 to 005.
• At the end of the measurement period, read the values of SP8941 001 to 005 again.
• Find the amount of time spent in each mode (subtract the earlier measurement from the later
measurement).
• Multiply this by the power consumption spec for each mode.
• Convert the result to kWh (kilowatt hours)
Here is an example calculation.

SP1-XXX (Feed)
Side-to-Side Registration
Adjusts the printing side-to-side registration from each paper feed station, using the
Trimming Area Pattern (SP 5902, No.10). Adjustments are supported for all 4 possible
feed trays (including optional trays).
1002*
The SP 1002 1 setting is applied to all trays, not just the 1st tray. Settings for trays 2 to 4
are offsets relative to the SP 1002 1 setting.
For duplex copies, the value for the front side is determined by SP 1002 1 to 4, and the
value for the rear side is determined by SP 1002 6.

Fusing Idling
This program decides the action of the Fusing Drive Release Mechanism. When you select
1103* "1," the contact/release control is disabled and the drive power is always transmitted to
4 the fusing unit. As a result, the machine takes a longer time to warm up the fusing unit. Use
SP 1103 1 if fusing quality is low even when the room temperature is not very low.

Adjusts the number of zero-cross cycles of the fusing lamp AC supply needed to bring the
1107* fusing lamp power to 100% while bringing the lamp up to the standby temperature or while
copying. Increase this value if the machine is experiencing sudden power dropouts (
Fusing Temperature Control).
1108 1 Specifies the interval for fusing-temperature control ( Fusing Temperature Control).
1109 1 Checks the fusing nip band ( NIP Band Width Adjustment).
[30 to 60 / 30 / 1 s/step]
1110 1 Inputs the fan control time. The fan maintains normal speed for the specified time after
occurrence of an SC or following entry into Warm-up mode, Low Power mode, or Night/
Off mode.
This SP mode detects SC559. Set this SP mode to 'Yes' if the machine experiences paper
1159 1
jam problems on a continual basis.
Displays the fusing lamp power control frequency (as detected by the zero cross signal
1902 1
generator). The displayed value is 1/5 the actual frequency: 10 = 50 Hz, 12 = 60 Hz.
31
Adjusts the amount of extra push that the feed clutch gives to the paper after the skew has
1903* been corrected at registration. This feature helps the registration roller feed certain types
of paper (such as thick paper). Increase the value if thick paper is jamming after feeding
from the registration roller.

SP2-XXX (Drum)
2001 1 Adjusts the voltage applied to the charge roller when printing. The actually applied voltage
changes automatically as charge roller voltage correction is carried out. The value you set
here becomes the base value on which this correction is carried out.
2001 2 Adjusts the voltage applied to the charge roller when generating the Vsdp ID sensor pattern
(as part of charge roller voltage correction). The actual charge-roller voltage is obtained
by adding this value to the value of SP 2001 1.

[0 = 50 pages / 1 = 20 pages]
2213 1 Sets the number of copy/print pages that can be made after toner near-end has been
detected. Reduce the number of pages if the user normally makes copies with a high image
ratio.
Initializes both the TD sensor toner supply target voltage and the TD sensor gain value.
2214 1
Carry this out after replacing the developer or the TD sensor.
33
Displays:
Vt: the current TD sensor output value and
2220 1 Vref: the target TD output value Vts (SP 2926) + correction for ID sensor output.
The TD sensor output value changes every copy. If 1 > 2, toner is supplied to the
development unit.
[–2 = –4 mA / –1 = –2 mA / 0 = 0 mA / 1 = 2 mA / 2
Normal paper
= +4 mA]
2301 1 Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller when feeding from a paper tray. Use a
high setting if the user normally feeds relatively thick paper (within spec) from a paper tray
( Image Transfer Current Timing).
[–2 = –4 mA / –1 = –2 mA / 0 = 0 mA / 1 = 2 mA / 2
Thick/Special paper
= +4 mA]
2301 2 Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller when feeding from the by-pass tray. Use
a high setting (a) if the user normally feeds relatively thick paper from the by-pass tray, or
(b) if waste toner is re-attracted from the drum (which can occur when using transparencies).
( Image Transfer Current Timing)
2301 4 Adjusts the current applied to the transfer roller for roller cleaning. Increase the current if
toner remains on the roller after cleaning. (Remaining toner may cause dirty background
on the rear side.) ( Image Transfer Current Timing)
34
SP Mode Tables
Initializes the developer and checks the TD sensor output (Vt). The machine mixes the
developer for 2 minutes while reading and displaying the Vt value. The machine does not
2802 1 initialize the TD sensor output. If the machine has not been used for a long period of time,
prints may have a dirty background. In this case, use this SP mode to mix the developer.
The message "Completed" is displayed when the program ends normally.
Shifts the image writing position in intervals specified by SP 2906 2. When making many
2906 1 copies of an original that contains vertical lines (such as in tables), the paper may not 4
separate correctly. This can cause tailing images (ghosts of the vertical lines continuing
past the bottom of the table). This SP can be used to prevent this.
Interval [1 to 10 / 1 / 1 page/step]
2906 2
Changes the interval for the image shift specified by SP 2906 1.
Forces the toner bottle to supply toner to the toner supply unit. Press "1" to start. The machine
2908 1 continues to supply toner until the toner concentration in the development unit reaches the
standard level, or for up to 2 minutes (whichever comes first).
[0 = None / 1 = 15 s / 2 = 25 s]
Selects the polygon mirror motor idling time. To increase the speed of the first copy, the
mirror motor begins idling when the user sets an original, touches a key, or opens the platen
2915 1 cover or DF. If this setting is left at the default (15 s), the motor will stop if the user does
nothing for 15s. If the setting is "0", the motor will not switch off during standby. (But note
that regardless of the setting, the motor will switch off when the machine enters energy
saver mode.)
35
2921 1 Selects the toner supply mode. Under normal conditions this should be set to "0". You can
temporarily change this to "3" if the TD sensor is defective. Do not set to "1" or "2", as these
are for design use only ( Toner Density Control).
[3 to 60 / 30 / 1 s/step]
Adjusts the toner supply motor ON time used during toner recovery from Toner Near End
2923 1 or Toner End. This setting is effective only if SP 2921 is set to "0" Since toner recovery is
carried out in 3-second cycles, the input value should be a multiple of 3 (3, 6, 9...). (
Toner Density Control)
Adjusts the toner supply time for fixed toner supply mode. This setting is effective only if SP
2921 is set to "2" or "3".[0 to 7 / 0]t = 200ms, and settings are as follows
0 = t , 1 = 2t, 2 = 4t, 3 = 8t, 4 = 12t, 5 = 16t,
2925 1 6 = on continuously, 7 = 0 s
Raising this value increases the toner supply motor ON time. Set to a high value if the user
tends to make many copies having high proportions of solid black image areas ( Toner
Density Control).
2926* Standard Vt
2926 1 Adjusts Vts (the Vt value for new developer). The TD sensor output is adjusted to this value
during the TD sensor initial setting process]. This SP is effective only when SP 2921 is "0",
"1", or "2".
36
SP Mode Tables
[0 = No / 1 = Yes]
2927 1 Selects whether the ID sensor is or is not used for toner density control. This value should
normally be left at "1". If the value is "0", dirty background may occur after long periods
of non-use.
Clears the toner end condition without adding new toner. The following are cleared:
Toner end indicator (goes out)
Toner near-end counter 4
2928 1 Toner near-end level
This function should generally not be used. If you clear the toner end condition without
adding new toner, there is a risk that the drum may eventually begin to attract carrier after
many more copies are made and toner runs out. This attracted carrier may damage the
drum.
Vref Limits
2929*
Adjust the upper or lower Vref limit.
While the machine is recovering from an energy saver mode, or while the machine starts,
2994 1 the BICU ignores the ID-sensor signals if the fusing temperature is at the specified value or
higher.
Selects whether the transfer roller is cleaned before each copy job. Set this to "1" if dirty
background is appearing on the reverse side of the first page of copy jobs. Note that this
2996 1
will increase the time required to generate the first copy. If the setting is "0", the transfer
roller is never cleaned ( Transfer Roller Cleaning).
